LOST is Back!!!

Last night it was nice that ABC showed the season finale for LOST. It has been a LONG time and it was fun to watch it knowing that I was looking at flash forwards and not flasbacks. But tonight is the main event. I've been saving my calories today so I can sit down with a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy.

I know it looks like I've fallen off the face of the earth....

The real issue is that I have somehow lost the cable that hooks my camera up to my computer to download pictures. Therefore, I have all these pictures but no way to post them. Now, my blackberry cable at work will also work but I keep forgetting to bring my camera to work or I do and don't have time to download pics. But the three of us are doing well. I WILL post pics before Ellie's birthday (coming soon).

Meanwhile here are some hilights of the last month:

Ellie has learned to say the word "Yes". No longer am I only subjected to the word "No" - she has turned the corner and will now grant me a "Yes" every so often.

Jordan figured out she can pour her own milk! Now she makes her own cereal in the morning and will get up and pour her own milk if she runs out at a meal time. She also made Ellie cereal this past weekend!!!

Ellie has learned the sign for "I love you" in sign language. Now she'll come up to me and hug me and hold up her hand while saying "I love yew". I love it!!!!

We celebrated Jordan's Family Day (the day we first met each other) and Adoption Day (the day we officially became a family). Can you believe it has been FIVE years???!!!!

Ellie's vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Admittedly, I don't understand everything she says - but she is patient and will repeat over and over or try another word or description until I figure it out.

I've lost 10 pounds! (I had to put something in about me)
